I got this for my 10 year old daughter for state swim meet. Wasn't sure about size, she had a size 22 that we bought one year ago and she wore that through an entire swim season and two state meets. I went back and forth between getting another 22 or going with a 24, and ultimately got the 24. She needed help getting the suit on the first time; she is on the small side, but needed help getting it pulled up over her rear end. Once she got in on, it fit perfectly. We probably could have squeezed her into a 22 but she was happy with how the 24 fit; it was plenty tight and she should be able to use it for the next year. She has been wearing size 26 for practice suits.

3/2/2015Amazing Suit

By Swimmer

I received this suit for Christmas 2013, and over a year later, it's still holding up well. (Though I would assume that it doesn't work as well as it did in the beginning; arrows are no longer visible.) It was my second technical suit after the Speedo Aquablade, and I was very surprised to see a huge difference in texture. The Aquablade is extremely smooth and stretchy, while the Fastskin is less so and seems more like a paper suit. Therefore, the same size is significantly smaller in the Fastskin. It takes some getting-used-to to get on, but it shouldn't take any longer than five minutes. In the pool, it feels great-- there is absolutely no fill-up of water anywhere, even for me, being small in both the chest and rear areas. Pullouts and flipturns are especially fun! Not sure if it's the suit that's been doing all the work, but I typically drop time whenever I wear this, compared to meets where I wear a normal practice suit. It can be a little difficult to sit in for hours at a time, particularly in the neck area, but it's all worth it when it comes down to your events. Of course it isn't the most advanced technical suit, but it's great for young ones and regional-type meets!

By Swim Fly Mom

My daughter is 12 years old and slender. She wears a size 28 practice suit, and wears a 22 in this suit. It is tight and challenging to get on, but comfortable after it's on. She got nearly 2 years of wear (swimming 10 - 12 meets per year) from her first one which was a size 20. This is a great, economical competition suit for youth.

4/2/2013Great Suit

By Swim Dad

The best youth technical suit out there. We have tried three technical suits ( jammers included) and this one is awesome. A little tight so we got size 26 instead of 24 which my daughter usually wears. Extremely light, I would say 1/3 lighter than her normal practice suit and does not absorb water like normal suits, thus reducing the drag. Expensive for a little girl but well worth it

By gale gale

I've been swimming for about 10 years now and finally decided to buy one of these suits for the important races. THEY DO WORK. It's not only a suit that is special in the water, but it brings confidence too. Yes when you first try it on it's extremely small but the second time you try it on its perfect. You want it snug. These suits are awesome!!
